When I wanted to do this quest I was told that the Fel Reaver had been killed recently. I said to myself, oh well, gotta wait for him to respawn.

But then I realized that the quest didn't need me to kill him, so I just went for his body and used the item while standing on it, and got the quest completed.

So there you have it. You don't need to actually kill the Fel Reaver, if you see his body just stand on it and use the item.

Comment by Agravice

Deathforge Automatons will also work to fire your key mold. Tried this just now in my guilds raid group and it worked just fine.

Beats trying to kite a Fel Reaver...

Comment by leftquark

If you stand around 59, 41 in Hellfire Penninsula, there is a Fel Reaver that pats by. If you are patient and wait for him, you can pull the fell reaver to the right into a pack of elite mobs. They'll kill it for ya. If you're alliance, they're Thrallmar guards, so you will most likely die. If you can have a friend do the pull and you stay alive, that's fine. Or you can have an SS or whatever so you can complete the quest after the guards kill the fel reaver.

Comment by samarium

Your problem is that you have to get the elites to aggro the REAVER - not you.

Their aggro tables are not shared - you must get at least one guard to get close enough to aggro the reaver but not you. After that happens the entire mob will go to town after they kill you and reset to their original positions.

Comment by selice

To aggro the mobs its not enough to pull the fel reaver close to them. You have to wait for them to do the Blizzard OR wait for the Fel Reaver to use Thunder Clap so he aggros the mobs around. The Fel Reaver's remains vanish pretty quickly so I suggest you do it right after the FR is killed.

Comment by chimera

I could get the Fel Reaver killed easily. I ran back, ressed and tried to use the quest item - no success, I always got interrupted by infernal drops (stun), then the corpse despawned extremely fast :(On the second try I was luckier, no stuns -> got the key!

Comment by Shadowgrasp

I just two-manned it: Holy Priest with +1700 healing buffed and a Tier IV Protection Warrior. Chugged a mana pot right away, then four more. Recommend a DPS class so you don't nod off...

Comment by Sklaninhaos

Confirmed, still works as of today. As a Prot. Warrior, just pulled and ran just outside of the range of the mobs. Fel Reaver used his Thunder Clap and aggroed the orcs. Big and stupid. Used my Shield Wall to lower damage and took off to lose aggro. Aggro stayed on Fel Reaver. Waited for the death of Fel Reaver and went to fetch my key. Every time I got close to Fel Reaver I was stunned by picking up aggro, but I did manage to make the key. As it was said before, the big deal was to get some of the elites to aggro onto Fel Reaver or they both reset.

Good luck and happy hunting! :)

Comment by Jaql

Confirmed, still works as of yesterday. As an alliance hunter this was very easy to do. Instead of waiting on the east side of the group of elites and running the Fel Reaver into them yourself you can go stand next to the Thrallmar wall on the west side of the elites and use your pet instead. Once you're standing near the wall use Eyes of the Beast and run your pet out past the elites to where the Fel Reaver paths by. As it comes close, aggro it and run your pet into the group of elites. Once your pet gets to them they will AE it and with the Fel Reaver already chasing it will get AE'd as well. The pet will die pretty quickly and the entire pack will start heading for you but you can just FD and then watch the show.

Kiting him to Thrallmar still works wonderfully after patch 2.3 on December 7th, 2007.

Comment by geordiesi

I am contributing to this thread not to say 'Hey I done it' but to add a couple of points as at first I thought this was no longer possible, I tried several times to get the FR and the Elites to agro each other and failed, it was only because there was a post after the last patch (2.3) saying it was still possible, that I endured. It would appear that you need to run right into the Elites, not just by them enough for their health bar to show. Also note that when you walk into the corpse of the FR to fire the key mold you do enter combat for a short time. This is not the Elites aggroing you(hopefully) but the intense heat of the FR's fel fire core. Ouch!!

And yeah of course this is soloing a Fel Reaver.......

Comment by gingergod5

As of 30th of Jan 08 the fel reaver can still be killed by the elites outside thrallmar. i am a 70 dps fury warrior but i equiped my shield and used deff stance, i had a hunter with me in full pvp epic but she was useless, used FD before she got to the mobs, i took over and did it with about 3k health left, bandaged up and waited for him to die, screenie included :D

Comment by Liquified

Dont forget that this quest can be completed without waiting for the reaver to wander into the right zone, then hoping it aggros the Thrallmar mobs, then hoping its corpse is still there when you run back.

As a lvl 70 holy pally, I found two others in the zone- a 70 feral druid and a 70 rouge, and the three of us easily took down the reaver. It was about a 4-5 minute fight, the druid (in bear form) never lost aggro, and just spamming Flash of Light, I still had about 30% mana when he went down. It might actually take less time to just group up and down him.

Comment by gannon416

As a horde shaman i dropped my Earth Elemental and ran to the guards. The guards came before the elemental was even dead and Fel Reaver dropped soon after.

Comment by smdante

It's not really a big deal taking a felreaver down...

I remember healing through a bear druid tanking it when my priest was still level 58.

Comment by Stevegasm

As an alliance hunter, I followed the tip to agro him on the Thrallmar mage gaurds down the road from the town. I just MDed my pet, attacked the Fel Reaver, and sent my pet to attack the gaurds. My pet got killed, and I Feign Deathed, which was resisted. Luckily, the gaurds used their AOEs and took the Fel Reaver off me before I died. I just bandaged up and FDed again, rez'd my pet, and took to the air as to not be killed by Horde, and waited.

Comment by kore2k

I took a slightly different approach. I'm a lock and I got 30 yards from Arcanist Torseldori and waited for the FR to pat by. When the FR was getting close I wanded Torseldori and ran at the FR. As soon as the group of Elites caught me Torseldori used blizzard AoE on me which aggroed the FR. They of course killed me but I was SS'd and as soon as they killed the FR and ran back to reset I popped the SS and forged the key. Easy cheesey. Warning though: The FR body fades out in about 10 seconds doing it this way and the forge is like a 3 to 4 second cast so WASTE NO TIME!! Pop and forge right away, I had to do it twice because I spent to much time marveling at how easy it was to do it.......

Comment by KnightThorrvul

Removed from the game as of patch 2.4. I was on my way to kill one to fire the key mold and did some checking when I didnt see then there . I guess I'll have to do it the hard way.

Comment by fracguru

I tried this, still works. I did it without dying... I stayed mounted on elite land mount. Agroed FR, and led him to elites. Prot warrior, kept my tanking set on. None of the agro dismounted me and the FR and elites started going at it. I rode off a bit, bandaged, then turned around and watched the show.

After the FR died, he fell right on top of the group. Fortunately you don't have to be right on top of him. I just got near the FR and started right clicking the key mold. Each try I inched closer a bit. Was able to complete the quest without getting in agro range of the elites. Then I just rode off into the sunset....

Comment by Eretor

Question? Would this work with a Fel Reaver out of Hellfire. Let's say the one already dead in Netherstorm?

Comment by Spectreclees

How hard do these felreavers hit I'm thinking about getting a friend to help heal me and was wondering if they hit really hard, so that we can just 2 man it.

Comment by cantr59107

As of 9/24 this still works..very easy with Lock. Just make sure SS is up and stand outside aggro range of Thrallmar elites. When FR happens by send VW after him to get initial aggro, then immediately send VW after Thrallmar elites. VW will go down pretty quickly and you'll get ganked as well, but FR will aggro elites in the process. Just watch the madness and once elites finish the FR off and reset, res with your SS and pop the forge (you can start forge before FR even hits the ground.) Finished quest in about 5 min.

Comment by randomhero

was able to kite one fel reaver to HH (as holy pally) and the guards helped me kill it.

Comment by brutalmage

LVL 70 AP/POM/Pyro. Did this with the Guards help. 3 times. LOL. First time I ran into Guards, then Novaed then Ice Blocked, died, and he left. Second time did it right but, I hit rez after he died which I should of known was wrong but some1 put in here, so I tried and it failed. Third time I did it went well, rezed right away came back and watched him die left clicked the mold, just as I did that the fire mobs came tumblin down kept stunning me but just kept clickin and finaly got it without interupts. Here's what i did: First to get you there: In your World Map you will be heading to the bottom tip of the R in Thrallmar. I flew there with Mount. When you get there there will be a Wagon with supplies all over and a few 60 Elites next to it, if you go to the right a little from in front of them you will see 2 mounds one bigger then the other. Stand in line right in front of big one so theres you, the big mound then the small mound in front, while facing mounds bak up count 1001 to 1003 then stop. Cartographer Coords are: 59.6.40.2. While you should be still facing mounds and in line with them, turn right a little till u see the path in between Fel area and hill. This is where the Fel Reaver will be coming, it's also the way you will be coming when you Rez at GY, if you can't on your own. If you turn back left past the Mound you should be able to see the Guards also. Turn back if you looked and wait. When you see Fel Reaver coming down the path Focus on him and wait until he comes in Range and hit em withyour best shot. Turn left and run right into the middle of Guards, timing it so FR was right behind me. I hit them with Nove (not sure if it did any good), then I Iced Blocked myself. The Guards started hittin him, I died rezzed and ran back, he was still being killed. As soon as he died I hit the Mold in my Pak and got interupted by the Fire Mobs which came at that very moment, but I kept clicking after Stuns and still got it. PHEW! Good Luck!

Comment by robside

Confirm this quest can be soloed, just pull the Fel Rever close to the Elites nere Thallmar and let them do the work for you, if u die, run back and use quest item on dead fel Rever.

Comment by Amarantha

9,5g? huh? only 96s for the quest at 80

Comment by divamatrix

Confirmed. You can still do this as of today.

The only thing I didn't see is anyone make mention of something like the NE shadowmeld. As a druid.. this was very easy. I just agro'd the FR... hopped into travel form and ran right through the middle of the elites. Then right as they agro'd on me, the FR showed up. As soon as that happened, I hit shadowmeld and left combat. Sure enough, they agro'd on FR and I popped flight form and watched from the sky.

The attack on the base happened just as FR died, so I used that time when they were distracted to go get the keymold. Then I just walked backwards and left combat and presto done. It took longer for them to slowly kill him than the whole thing took me to do.

Comment by thatonegeek

so i know we were supposed to get our shattered halls key at 70, but i just realized at 80 that i didn't have it.

not sure what i was doin wrong, but the supply caravan did nothin for me. pulled the fel reaver to within spitting distance of the npcs, watched them convulse when he did his war stomp, and got no help.

fortunately for me, the fel reaver is easily soloable as an 80 lock, with immolate, conflag, and health funnel. even with marginal gear while being stunned by the Infernal Invaders and an annoyingly persistent Thrallmar grunt.

if you're doing this at 80, don't expect much in the way of help from guards. it may be quicker and easier to pull him away from Thrallmar.

Comment by Kusaionara

I'm a 69 tankadin and together with a balance druid we took down a fel reaver. To speed things up we kited him back to Honor Hold where NPC's helped us kill him. It would be possible for a lower level character to solo this way as well I expect. 70+ characters can probably solo without NPC help. Back in the BC days I was able to solo a fel reaver with a 70 Holy Pally but it took a long time.

Comment by zingle

Worked like a charm, but the elites took a long time to down the FR. An infernal attack started just as he died but persisted through a number of stuns to get key forged.

Comment by Ickykillsall

I soloed the fel reaver as a lvl 70 frost DK. Had to use one healing pot and death pact but easily done for me. then just use the key mold on top of his body to finish the quest.

Comment by Aldronel

I'm Revered with these guys. When does the quest become available? Are there prequests to get this one?

Comment by Amrun

Was about to kite to Thrallmar when an 80 horde pally showed up and promptly annihilated it.

Was still able to get the quest done, because, as mentioned, you do not have to actually make the kill to use the mold.

Unfortunately, the paladin saw me making the key. We were on a PvP server. I was an Ally.

Comment by regfurby

After reading the comments, I decided to try my luck kiting a Fel Reaver to Thrallmar as a 70 warrior (Alliance).

First two attempts went pretty badly, didn't manage to get the Fel Reaver to aggro the elites at all (or vice versa), however I did notice a couple of things:

- The Fel Reaver patrols past Thrallmar twice. It will walk northwest along the road from the Path of Glory, then turn and head northeast towards Forge Camp: Mageddon. After walking along the cliff edges for a while, it will turn around and walk back the same way it came, taking it past the supply caravan once more. This gives you two chances to kite it to the elites (I blew both attempts though)

- After the Fel Reaver patrols past Thrallmar, it heads south of the Path of Glory. Thinking it would make a small circle and come back, I went back to Thrallmar to wait for it... but two infernal storms (or more, I left to get a drink at one point) came and went before I saw the Fel Reaver on the horizon again. In all likelihood, the Fel Reaver continued patrolling south towards Expedition Point (the Alliance Outpost east of Honor Hold), although I haven't confirmed this.

On my third attempt, I aggroed the Fel Reaver by a thrown weapon and ran on foot towards the supply caravan, fully intending to stand and die amongst the elites to ensure that it stomped them at least once. Just before I reached them, yet another infernal storm started, and all I could do was watch in misery as infernal after infernal crashed down around me and attacked the elites that were barely 10 yards away, while the Fel Reaver pounded my stunned body into pulp from behind.

After pummeling me into the ground, however, the Fel Reaver turned, ran towards the elites and joined the infernals in beating them up (much to my surprise). Personally, I suspect that the infernals landing beside us and running towards the elites put them on the Fel Reaver's aggro list (much in the same way one mob chasing you will cause other mobs it passes by to gain aggro on you too).

After that, it was a simple matter of getting back to my corpse and watching the Fel Reaver fight the horde elites until it died. Because it attacked the elites on its own, it was standing quite a good distance away from the elites (unlike other posts where the Fel Reaver starts fighting the elites while standing on top of them), and it was a simple matter to use the mold on its corpse without aggroing the elites. Another plus point was that I wasn't flagged at all (since I never made it to the horde elites), so I could safely stand around nearby and watch (also because I wasn't on a pvp server).

So, for those feeling adventurous enough, you might want to try kiting the Fel Reaver into the elites during an infernal storm :)

Good luck!

Comment by vouge55

ok people, listin up. if u are a lvl 76 which i am, u can kill this fel reaver easy. i am a lvl 76 dk, it took me all of half a min- a full min. so there is no reason anyone shoul dbe having trouble.

Comment by Catriona

A level 70 prot paladin in cobalt and the BOA chest/shoulders gear can solo this bad boy. I even accidentally aggro'd that stupid horde mage NPC that walks down the road and still did it just fine. Used Seal of Insight and Kings.

I was very, very unsuccessful in a very short time at doing it as ret, however.

Comment by perculia

This quest is no longer obtainable, due to the removal of keys and key rings.
